    Got some done.
    And got a little exercise.
    had some fun with a good view of the mts. :)

    Still to soft to load on the trailer & take to the stack,

    Yea, after a few attempts of other stools, it just worked out to be the best fit :)

    Looking for an orange one, butt may fit it better. LOL :)

    Vertical is the easiest,
    no lifting the round,
    just roll over to the splitter & stand them up on end.
    A lot faster too
    IMO

    Holy krykeeeee! Can't beat that background. And you give your wood a carpet treatment, wow!!


    I've been dreaming of going to Alaska for years, it's finally on my short list of trips to take soon. I've been all over the world, but never to good old Alas-ka (said like Sarah Palin!).

    I wanna pluck a salmon out of the river, rip it open and hoof it down with some wasabi!

    OK OK we get it! You probably have one of the best views from your stack :thumbs: . Never get tired of seeing your pics. I may have asked before but, how far are those mtns from you?

    As usual Dave, great pics. I like the rug idea as your splitting area! Seems you have plenty of birch out your way.

    That would be a nice wallpaper but it's time to have some shots of blue water and sunshine.
